Galatians Lesson 13

Welcome back to Wednesday Night Bible Study The lessen centers on the foundational truth of justification by faith alone, not by works of the law, drawing from Galatians 2:15–3:6 to emphasize that salvation is a gift of grace received through faith in Christ. It highlights the transformative reality of being crucified with Christ, where the believer's old self has died and Christ now lives within, empowering a life of faith and obedience. The preacher underscores that the Holy Spirit is received not through legalistic effort but through hearing and believing the gospel, and that any spiritual growth or sanctification must be rooted in this faith, not in human effort. Using Abraham as a model of faith, the sermon affirms that the promise of blessing extends to all who believe, regardless of ethnic or cultural background, and warns against the danger of reverting to legalism, which nullifies grace and undermines the cross. Ultimately, the message calls for continual reliance on Christ's work, not personal achievement, as the foundation of both salvation and sanctification.
